The petition was approved and "sent to Department of State NVC center". Do I need to send my cancellation request to them or USCIS office or both? Also, can my sister find alternative family sponsor (outside of my family) to sign the I-864 Affidavit of Support form? I am worried my... View More

The I-130 is step 1 of a multi-phase process. The I-130 in essence simply validates the legal sibling relationship between you and your sister--that you and your sister are indeed sisters--and nothing more. If you do nothing further, NVC will eventually cancel out the process; if no activity after... View More

You need to get a permit; whether you can legally purchase or not. Work permit and SS number don’t confer you status. In fact you have no status, but perhaps refugee seeking to remain in the US. And any weapons offense could negatively impact your asylum application.

You basically have to wait. But check the online info site periodically to see if there are any updates. Communication with USCIS is on a simplex basis, so requires patience.

Presumably you will be looking to petition for your wife, which is the I-130 petition and of course showing of legit marriage. Your N-400 is based solely on your qualifications--married or not. Needless to say, if asked about your marital status at the interview, you answer accordingly.
My husband is Guatemalan, and we live together in Guatemala. I would like him to come with me to the States to visit, but we have no intention of living permanently in the States. He applied for a tourist visa to come with me on a visit, but he was denied when they saw we were married with a kid. I... View More

Your fact pattern is sketchy? What are you trying to achieve? If you just want to visit (any country for that matter) and you were denied a vistor's/tourist visa--then there's nothing more; other than seeing if you can re-apply in the near future with more concrete proof that you will... View More

Since you entered lawfully (with a visa), you can always apply for a waiver if it ever becomes necessary...Nonetheless, you should have your LPR spouse petition for you, i.e., I-130 and eventually adjust status. Since spouse is LPR, you are not in the highest preference category; which means your... View More
IF yes, on what grounds can it be blocked or canceled ? I understand people feel very good in immigrating their relatives such as spouses, parents and siblings. However, in my case I fear my own married life which is hanging by a thread will be over. There is a very big background on it. Please,... View More

An I-130 confers no benefit and only confirms that there is a bona-fide marriage or other direct relationship, i.e, siblings, parent-child, etc. So, what's to block? Those predicate facts are true or false... Nonetheless, petitioner does not have to sign; does not have to file I-130--but if... View More

Eventually, you will need to complete Form I-864 Affidavit of Support. If your income doesnt meet the threshold, you can include a co-sponsor who will have to show the necessary minimum income by way of tax documents/w2's etc.
